CHISWICK
RECORDS
Independent label: The Chiswick
record company was started by Ted Carroll and Trevor Churchill as a logical
progression from selling records from a stall in Soho
market. Chiswick was one of the first labels to issue Punk Rock
records, and it enjoyed a lot of success in that field. The Damned
took the label into the charts on several occasions from 1979-80, as did Doo-Wop
revival band Rocky Sharpe & The Replays (from 1978-82). Carroll
and Churchill put out reissues of old Rock 'n' Roll records as well as their own
recordings; they licensed Chiswick to EMI in 1978, leaving themselves free to
concentrate on the reissue market, via their 'Ace' label. Chiswick
singles initially appeared early in 1976, in a S-0 numerical series, these were
marketed by President and distributed by Lugton and H. R. Taylor. A
switch to Anchor Records came in mid 1977, along with a changer of prefix, to
NS, distribution was by CBS during this period. Finally when EMI took
over manufacture and distribution, from September 1978, a new label design was
adopted and the numbering changed to CHIS-100. At least one other
change of design and numbers took place in the 1980s. The SW prefix
appears to have been applied to EPs, during the President and Anchor years.
